Reborn in 1993, Dark Sea

"Xiao Hai, who were you talking to on the phone just now? You were talking for so long?" Ah Huo tossed a cigarette to An Xiao Hai. Although he knew An Xiao Hai didn't smoke, he seemed to have a habit of tossing cigarettes to him.

An Xiaohai took the cigarette and casually shoved it into Kunji's mouth.

"A friend with a bad temper kept yelling at me, and my ears are still ringing!" An Xiaohai said, picking at his ear with his fingers, making Ah Huo laugh out loud.

Ah Huo thought that the hot-tempered friend An Xiaohai mentioned was Captain Zhou.

After a while of commotion, the group dispersed. Ah Huo left with his underlings, while Kun Ji disappeared without a trace, taking the backpack with him.

As usual, the matter of hiding things falls under Kunji's jurisdiction.

An Xiaohai took Lin Xuan'er back to the hotel. Since the room was already booked, there was no harm in staying.

At this moment, An Xiaohai's tense nerves finally relaxed a little. Lying on the same bed with Lin Xuan'er, the long-suppressed desire could no longer be suppressed, and the two embraced and kissed tightly...

(To avoid tiring you out and making you think I'm just rambling, I'll omit 300 words)

At the same time, in a building in Haiwei Village

Guo Xiangshui was on the phone. Although the air conditioning in the room was set very low, his face was still covered in sweat.

"Have you figured out what happened?" The voice on the other end of the phone was deep and hoarse, with a faint electrical hum, clearly indicating the use of a voice changer.

"Boss, I...I don't know! I've checked it over and over again, but I really can't figure out what the problem is."

There was a long silence on the other end of the phone.

Sweat had pooled on Guo Xiangshui's face, dripping incessantly down his chin, but he seemed oblivious. Perhaps he was aware, but simply didn't dare wipe it away.

"Alright, if you really don't understand, then don't bother!"

"Boss..." Guo Xiangshui's voice trembled, filled with a deep sense of despair.

"Clean them up, clean up everyone on this line today."

"Boss, this..."

"Is there a problem?"

"No...no problem!" Guo Xiangshui finally felt the sweat on his face and kept wiping it with his sleeve as he spoke.

"By the way, is there anything wrong with Ah Huo?"

"It should be fine, right? How could he possibly know about us? I really don't know what the problem is. I've checked it over and over again, but I can't find anything unusual!"

"Stop saying these things, it's pointless!"

Ah Shui, sometimes we can't always focus on the details; we need to learn to step back and look at things from a broader perspective.

Since you're certain that there's nothing wrong on our side, then the problem is very likely with someone else.

Think carefully, what's different about this period compared to the past?

If there are people or things that have never happened before, then the problem is very likely to lie with those people or things.

"But, but things have changed a lot recently. Besides Ah Huo, there's also Fatty Dan, Xi Hao, Jian Ren Dong, Ah Zui, and oh right, An Xiao Hai. None of these people have ever appeared here before."

"So, if we remove all these extra factors and return to the previous state, wouldn't the problem be solved? We can't touch the others for now, but we can handle our own people, right?"

"Understood, boss, I got it!" Guo Xiangshui nodded repeatedly.

"Good that you understand!"

Ah Shui, after this incident, you only have one last chance. However, considering how many years you've followed me, I'll give you one more chance. Cherish it.

"Thank you, boss! I will cherish it! Thank you, boss! Thank you, boss!" Guo Xiangshui felt as if he had been granted a pardon, holding up the phone and bowing repeatedly to the empty space in front of him.

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Just do your job well, and make sure it's handled cleanly so you don't get into any more trouble."

"Don't worry, boss, I'll handle it perfectly."

The call was disconnected.

Guo Xiangshui let out a soft cry and slumped into the chair, completely exhausted. It took him almost half an hour to recover before he finally got up from the chair.

"Brother Shui, what's wrong with you?" Li Maocai knocked on the door and came in. Seeing Guo Xiangshui's condition, he asked with concern.

"Stop talking, Ah Cai, get to work, get to work! We'll make up for our mistakes!" Guo Xiangshui said as he pulled Li Maocai away.

Office of Liu Yusheng, Secretary of the Shenhai Municipal Party Committee

"Secretary, based on my deduction, this is the gist of the situation," Zhou Zhengguo said with a sigh of relief. "I anticipate pressure from the province. Secretary, what do you think we should do?"

"What should we do? We should do it!"

Old Zhou, you're an old comrade. These drug lords have been entrenched in my Haidong Province for quite some time now. It's time to eradicate them completely!

We must broaden our perspective!

As you reported before, their area of ​​activity is by no means limited to our Deepsea City; Deepsea City is just one of their main strongholds.

Therefore, their umbrellas are not limited to the skies above Deepsea City.

We must fight these parasites to the bitter end, no matter the cost!

I agree with you. In the face of extraordinary circumstances, extraordinary measures must be taken! Risks will certainly be taken, and costs must be paid.

We are not afraid of risks or spare any cost, as long as we can bring this drug lord to justice as soon as possible!

As for the pressure from the province, try your best to withstand it. We are a sub-provincial level unit, and you are a member of the Standing Committee. Don't be timid. If you really can't handle it, just push it to me, and I'll withstand it with you."

"That's great! With the secretary saying that, I feel much more at ease."

"You old fox! You were just waiting to drag me into a pit, weren't you?"

"Hehe, look at what you're saying, how could I dare to drag you into a pit?"

"You! After all these years, who doesn't know who we are?"

You handle the specifics; I'm an outsider and won't interfere. Go for it! This time, we must uproot them completely!

"Yes, Secretary, please rest assured."

"Hey, by the way, I heard you recently got a batch of pretty good old tree tea. Why haven't you gotten me any?"

"I wanted to bring you some, but I was afraid of breaking the rules and getting into trouble."

"What rule is breaking the rules with just a little tea? Being stingy is one thing, but don't use rules as an excuse!"

"hey-hey!"

Late at night, in the compound of the Shenhai Municipal Public Security Bureau

There were more than a dozen cars parked in the yard, all of them with their engines off and lights off, but all of them were full of people.

Today was a chaotic day. Neither the anti-drug squad nor the criminal investigation squad received any orders to go home and rest. Everyone was sitting in their cars, ready to leave at any moment.

Just then, in one of the anti-narcotics team's vehicles, the pager on the waist of an officer sitting in the back seat vibrated.

The officer picked up the pager, glanced at it, hesitated for a moment, and then gritted his teeth and opened the car door.

"Xiao Gu, where are you going?" the police officer in the driver's seat asked, turning around.

"My stomach hurts, I need to go to the toilet."

"You're like a lazy donkey trying to grind grain! Why didn't you go earlier or later? Hurry up and come back! Captain Wang should be out soon. Don't let us be left without you, or we'll get a scolding from him again!"

"Okay, I got it. I'll be right back."

After finishing his sentence, Xiao Gu jogged into the building. When he reached the vicinity of the restroom, he didn't go in. After looking around and seeing that no one was there, Xiao Gu turned around and headed towards the evidence room.
